Task teams serve annually to provide recommendations and implement plans for measured and "step change" improvement in these areas. The goal is to produce a ready and educated work force and successful leaders of tomorrow. Attendees are asked to plan to attend for the full day and be prepared to participate on a task team.

Seating is limited to the first 300 who respond to Hernando YouthInitiative@yahoo.com by Sept. 28. There is no cost for this event. (In deference to the extra provisions that are made, a $7 no-show/no-call fee will be charged for those who reserve a spot but don't show up or call by Sept. 27.)

COUNTYWIDE

Before you get in line, gather all documents

The Hernando County Tax Collector's Office reminds residents that a new state law effective Jan. 1 has new documentation requirements for residents to get a driver's license or identification card.

Those wishing to obtain a new license, legally change their name before their renewal date or immediately replace a lost or stolen license or ID card are required to visit a driver's license office and show:

• Proof of identification (e.g. birth certificate or passport).

• Proof of Social Security number.

• Proof of residential address (must be two items).

Those simply renewing a license/ID card may do so by Internet or mail, one time between office renewals.

The renewal following such convenience options must be in a state driver's license office or participating tax collector's office.

Residents are encouraged to visit GatherGoGet.com to find out how and when to gather personal documents, go to a driver's license office and get a new card.

This is a men's a cappella chorus. Members have an opportunity to participate in community performances, the annual show, competitions and other events.
